| Jacob the Baker: Gentle Wisdom for A Complicated World. by benShea, Noah. New York, NY: Ballentine Books. 1989. | Once there was a baker named Jacob, who scribbled his thoughts on bits of paper as he waited for the bread to rise. One day, by accident, a small paper was baked into a loaf, and the woman who bought that loaf was so moved by the words of wisdom she found inside it that she returned to the bakery the next day for more. In that way, Jacob's simple sayings became known. Few books touch both heaven and earth…These tiny stories are not only to be read but carried in a circle around your heart…feeding you hope and humanity whenever loss of God threatens. This is a book full of love of life and of God and of humanity. It is touching in its simplicity, wise and charming at the same time. |
